Earthwork by Chris Ordal: Jul 12: 2 pm Sat
Earthwork centers around a trip acclaimed crop
artist Stan Herd took in 1994 to NYC to make an
Earthwork on Trump's land. Stan risked everything
to produce this piece at his own expense. During
the creation, he built bonds with the homeless,
who played a large part in helping him build the
piece. His expenses left him broke, divorced, and
the huge newscast that was to air for the piece
was ruined by the O.J.chase. Yet, he found the
true meaning of his art and continues to this day.

Shakespeare in the Parking Lot II "The Taming of
the Shrew" by Shakespeare: Jul 6: 2 pm Sun
This event is a one performance fundraiser for the
Alcott Arts Center. This 1 day event is August
23rd 5-9pm. We will hold it outside on the Lawn
and want to show the audience that Shakespeare can
be fun. "The Taming of the Shrew" If you ever saw
the 1976 production of it, that had drums in the
background, and people waving flags and yelling
"Yay!" every time anybody said "Padua," and pretty
much full-on Commedia d'ell Arte style. Lots of somersaults,
